Tragic romance. Is there any other kind?

The classic tale of "Romeo & Juliet" gets a modern re-telling with Orlando Bloom starring as Romeo. Tony nominated actress Condola Rashad plays the love of his life. Yes, she is the daughter of "The Cosby Show" star Phylicia Rashad.

And for you purists out there, the play is set in modern times with contemporary costumes.

Fun fact: It's been 36 years since "Romeo & Juliet" has been performed on Broadway.

The production will screen in theaters Thursday, Feb. 13 and Friday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Nothing screams Valentine's Day like tragic love.
